Chapter 51: Reunion
"It's not necessarily a hornet's nest, it's someone who deliberately threw it over, but it's not far from ten."
Ning He shrugged and replied.
Haixi people, good at military formation, have a very good will to fight, plus there are horses of the Li Dynasty Xiaoguo army.
Taken together, these are easily reminiscent of the 'horse bandits' who robbed the gifts.
But the other party came directly to trouble him, and there was also the short crossbow of the Yingyang Mansion Army, it was not impossible to kill him just to kill him.
After all, the Wuyuan Rebellion was not a matter of the past year or two, and the eastward crossing of the Haixi people to Daqin was not an exception, but it had become a relatively cheap force and had a tendency to spread.
The rebellion of the Li Dynasty will take longer, and now in the Li Dynasty, there are Kuishan horses flowing out, which is also not a surprising thing.
What's even more worth pondering is that when he has Yonghe City's record in the front, even if he can't use all his strength now, he only sends a middle-grade God Realm martial artist with more than 30 people, and he wants to kill him, which is somewhat contemptuous of him.
And if those people were really among those 'horse bandits', it seemed that some of them were deliberately thrown to death, and they were dragged into this case, and even let him find some traces and earn some credit.
This kind of thing makes him puzzled.
Only one thing is certain.
That's where they are, and it's always been in the hands of some people.
It's kind of chilling.
It's like a poisonous snake is always around.
Cheng Chen said: "Then let's go separately?" ”
"Points." Ning He nodded decisively, "But don't stay too far away from me, bring those Kuishan horses, once there is an accident, you can transfer directly, no matter what the situation, approach me directly." ”
Cheng Chen responded, if it was really thirty or fifty horse bandits, several of them could still come in handy, but they could be said to have no experience in facing bows and crossbows and military formations.
Ning He said again: "The other horses are left here, which can be regarded as a trivial compensation for those who died in the courtyard." ”
Ke Han responded, "I'll do it." ”
After Ning He nodded, he went directly to talk to the group of merchants.
Ning He slipped to the counter and knocked on the floor that could be lifted, and the innkeeper carefully answered and opened the gap again.
"I'll find someone to come and clean up these corpses at the next official post, you don't have anything to fear people here."
I had already seen the shopkeeper of a few people, and I also knew that this was an official, so I shook my head hurriedly, "No, absolutely not." ”
"That'll do."
The inn was also affected, and there were a lot of damage to the pillars and woods, which added to the bad luck, and Ning He also handed over some silver to make amends.
As for the question, it's just a reminder, whether it's greasy or not, don't be caught off guard.
In fact, this inn in the wilderness will have its own people, mainly to protect their own safety.
There are also others, which are originally the eyes of mountain bandits and horse bandits, and the underworld forces.
It's just that they don't mix things blindly, they don't easily make enemies and grudges with any party, and everyone doesn't offend each other.
It's not really soft and deceitful, and it's a casual kneading person.
Immediately, Ning He didn't need anyone else's help, and put the corpses in an open space in the courtyard.
The innkeeper came out and took someone to sweep and clean.
Ning He and the others all gathered in his room.
The two little ones, although they are not very old, but they have also gone through some storms, they are a little resolute, they are not crying and shouting, they are panicked, they are honestly lying on the bed and pretending to sleep, as if they don't know anything.
A few adults didn't have the heart to say anything, and sat down to rest.
After about an hour, the other guests who stayed at the hotel left the inn one after another, regardless of the fact that it was not yet dark, and left the place first.
When it was dawn, Ning He and the others also set off to leave.
Ning He rode alone, took the first step, rushed to the official post ten miles away, showed a certificate of official documents, etc., and asked the official post to go to the inn to collect the body, and find someone to take him to the county seat to inform the county officials.
At the same time, he also wrote a letter to Xiao Qingyuan, asking the official post to be sent to the Jingtian County Government Army Station.
They are now located in Shuoyuan County, Muping County, which is a little far away from the county seat.
Shuoyuan County is long and narrow from north to south, narrow from east to west, the county seat is still in the south, all the way to walk for two days, more than 400 miles, only to see Shuoyuan County.
When I arrived at the county office, I didn't talk nonsense, and I told the matter and handed it over to the local government to finish.
But whether to check it or not is a matter of what people say.
He was only sent abroad, and after all, he didn't have the ability to even be instructed by other county officials.
Anyway, they politely welcomed him into the door, and then politely sent him away, and it was over.
So Ning He didn't expect anyone to come out and give him an answer or anything, and asked the Ministry of Rites that no one came, so he left directly, and didn't stay in Shuoyuan County for long.
The reason for the name of Alfalfa County is that the aquatic plants here are very lush, and the terrain here is undulating, so that the grass blades sway with the wind, like the green pings on the lake rippling with the water waves.
And from here to the south, the mountains, water systems, and forests on the Lingbei grassland have begun to increase, and various wild animals on the grassland have become more common.
It's okay to take the official road, there are often cars and horses, wild animals suffer a lot of losses, how much longer memory, less leaning forward.
Ning He had no experience, so he wandered into a forest, intending to avoid the scorching sun, and was almost picked up by a poisonous snake.
However, there are pros and cons to everything, and the food and so on are also more abundant.
No, when Cheng Chen and Gongye Ziyi and they followed, there were already three or five kinds of meat that were peeled and cleaned, and the different sizes were placed on a pile of leaves by Ning He, just waiting for a few people to come and roast.
"I'm almost ripe, why are things not good." Gongye Ziyi pouted, and kept fanning the wind with a fan, although it was also hot air.
Now she regrets not falling, the mountains and forests in the north, she and Ning He are familiar, but here is completely different.
That's not a big deal for them.
The main reason is this climate, not to mention her, even Ning He can't accept it, she wears her clothes all day long, and she wants to drill into it when she sees the river.
Although Yonghe is also considered to be in the south, firstly, when they are in Yonghe, it is not yet the hottest time, and secondly, the terrain of Yonghe is high, in comparison, it is similar to the temperature in the summer of several northern provinces, and they can also get used to it.
And now, as we gradually go south, the time has also come to the hottest time, and there is no shelter in all directions, and there are no clouds all day long, which is really too roasting.
They tried to walk day and night, but they couldn't sleep during the day, they couldn't rest well, and they hurried at night, eager to encounter 800 fierce beasts of all colors, which also made them give up this plan directly.
Traveling south from Shuoyuan County, in just a few days, Ning He, who was not white, was already almost as black as Cheng Chen, and his face was tanned with two layers of skin.
Cheng Chen and Ke Han have become good brothers, the black ones are no different, and the traces can only be barely seen when they are covered with charcoal ash.
It's a few big and small women, greased and powdered, and they haven't changed much.
And the distance to Lingnanguan is only a quarter of the way, and it is going further and further south, and Lingnanguan is basically the hottest line.
When you really get to the place, the weather may not be how to torture people.
"Let's work hard, it's good to get to Alfalfa City, let's buy a carriage, bring a waterwheel and ice-making things, there will be no shortage of ice along the way, it will be much better."
Cheng Chen tore a roasted antelope and distributed it to a few people.
He's actually been there.
It's just that everything was arranged by his brothers at that time, and he was just like He Lanzhen now, he was purely playing along, how could he remember that.
Now that I have been sinned, I remember that I was not fully prepared.
Ning He also said bitterly: "Come on, you should hone your mind, maybe any of you will be hot and confused, have an epiphany or something, and break through the realm." ”
A person who practices martial arts practices Sanjiu in winter and Sanfu in summer, which has the meaning of honing his mind and will, not just afraid that his skills will not be refined, he is not pure nonsense, but he already has this idea.
It's just that in exchange, it's just a bunch of big white eyes.
"Look! Look! ”
The place where they are sitting now is not in the forest, but just a margin, a place with shade, and the terrain is slightly high, and they can still see the surrounding scene clearly.
He Lanzhen, who had just put the leg of mutton in his mouth, swept it casually and saw a large herd of bison running westward in the distance, and immediately jumped up.
Several people looked for it, but they also paused their movements to watch this spectacular scene.
The horses gallop and have a wanton and uninhibited beauty, while the cattle have a rampant, savage and unrestrained energy, which is also wonderful.
Especially in the current environment, there are few people, all natural scenes, quite a dream back to the ancient.
Ning He's heart moved, and he realized another kind of overturning, and immediately closed his eyes and pondered, pondering carefully, so that several people looked at each other speechlessly.
After a while, Hongtu Ling'an's eyes moved slightly, his brows furrowed, and he whispered to Ke Han and Cheng Chen: "Take a closer look, is there someone on the other side of the herd?" ”
Cheng Chen stared at it, and sure enough, after the smoke and dust cleared, he saw more than 20 small black dots, and he was also rushing to the west, but they were all covered by the cattle before, and they did not show it.
At the moment, those people were directly running in their direction, coming north.
Ke Han turned over directly on his horse, "Don't be who is hunting, I'll take a look." ”
As he spoke, he struck his horse and went out.
Hongtu Ling Anti spear in his hand, and also followed directly.
They didn't have any other ideas, but they just saw that Ning He seemed to have something to gain, and they were afraid of being disturbed, so they wanted to stop them and see if they could ask them to go around a little.
However, when they approached, those people didn't say a word at all, and just shot with their bows, and the two hurriedly blocked and dodged.
Those people didn't chase them, they just looked behind them frequently, their faces were full of anger, and they didn't pay attention to the meaning of the two of them at all, as if as long as they didn't get in their way, nothing else mattered.
It's not like hunting, it's like running for your life.
